I can't believe they have been in 55 degree water for three days. Even with 100 degree air being blown in on them, that level of hypothermia is not survivable, especially if you can't move and your can't generate warmth.

I think it is more likely that they are getting wet while getting into the rescue basket. However, if they are just in a couple inches of water, the compresed warm air can keep the whole chamber warm, but not if they were in a larger body of water.
